The Charles Dickens Museum in Bloomsbury is the only remaining London home of Charles Dickens and today, his beautiful Georgian terraced house attracts visitors from around the world. As a museum, it holds the world’s most important collection relating to Dickens, who was not only a great novelist but also a tireless social campaigner.

Tonight's special 'By Candlelight' event is to get 'an effect of various lights — firelight, candlelight, moonlight, and what not — which I think decidedly improves the scene'. (Charles Dickens, 1869)
